So I started interviewing last month just to test the waters. To my surprise I cracked the first interview I gave at Expedia and two small startups (not considering, gave for experience) I have an amazon and yelp onsite that needs to be schduled but expedia wanted me to decide by last week so I said yes, but I still want to give Amazon but I m not sure if it would be a good idea in case I got selected and have to leave expedia in couple of weeks. On one hand I am thinking FANG name and good stocks will make it worth it. Then again I am thinking getting wlb will be worse compared to expedia and not sure if I will be able/want to stick 4 years to get the stocks. How much is amazon giving l4 sde1 these days I know base is 112k but not sure abt stocks. Any advise would be helpful. Yoe 2, current TC : peanuts (~90k) TC at expedia : 145k sde1 TC at startups : 100 -120k range with good equity but I had been on a dying startup before so dont want to join Potential TC at amazon : not sure but it seems 112k base + some good amt of stocks
All offers are at will which means yes you can back off. I have seen company taking back the offer as well. Yelp and amazon tc will be higher for sure. I have seen sde1 got 180k or even highert.
"Can I drive to the grocery store on Saturday without checking with my manager?"
Dude its start of my career and I dont want to get blacklisted form a decent company. Might have to return to it at later point in my career since I would like to keep my location in WA
And if you just want to troll without any useful points why bother typing or just being an asshole is ur thing ?
TC breakdown at Expedia?
130k base rest anual bonus
Yes. Don’t feel bad if you accept several offers and then end up un-accepting several offers. Don’t feel bad if you quit a company after one week. It’s part of the business and is quite common. You have to be comfortable with how they can fire you at any time for (almost) any reason. But they have to be comfortable with you quitting at any moment without any notice. It’s the ugly side of the business that isn’t fun or pleasant or considerate or nice. But it is part of the business world.
Interview everywhere. Worry about this if you get multiple offers.
But i accepted expedia already, will they blacklist me for backing out in a week or something?
Read what I said again, slowly this time.
